the "signs".  coming from different directions.  

i decided today that i didn't have to do   A N Y   T H I N G.  I've never done this before.  Ever.  I fed Tay and Tazmeena and the Goats.  I checked the feral family's water.  I came in and finished my tea and lay down on the couch futon and fell asleep again.  i dreamed but didn't remember,  didn't care.  This is all happening by  approx 9 am.  I woke originally at 6 am.  By 9:30 am i'd slept twice.  Washed dishes from all the cooking yesterday and cleared the kitchen counters.  Thought about Stuff.   Went Out and looked at the inconvenient truth of the 1/2 ton of Alfalfa and decided that i would switch Form of my days…would go Out when Sun approached the Rim…do the WORK then.  It was hot already.  For whatever reason (there are some)  i don't have so much Heart for the heat right now.

similar things X 2.   So i slept 4 times today.  20 minutes each,  give or take.  Dreaming,  not remembering and in between i saw Tina Turner on Utube chanting the Peace Mantra with children and then followed the sidebar to her doing Proud Mary Live in 1986,  i think,  and then followed that to her and Ike Turner doing Proud Mary i think in 1971 and then her and Beyonce,  to gether and then her and Mick Jagger.  Followed by 20 min. of sleep with dreaming but not remembering the dreaming…

it all feeling like Groping for Something.  this uneasy Groping for something

and then i went to Kaizenjourney.blogspot.com and she said

What Art Can Be Used For

and there was a very small and elegant photograph of i think daisys near water…near a stream

and these words

"when the thread is thinnest…when we sense the tragedy of endings…when life and grace is threatened by deafness and ugliness…when tenderness is bullied….when fences of enclosure overshadow the last scrap of commons…then,  which is now,  comes a ferocity on the side of life,  to protect,  to cherish and to envoice what cannot speak in human language."

from Myth and Moor

so i go to Myth and Moor and see this is from an interview with Sharon Blackie in Earthling Mag,  March 2012

and i think how so so Beauty FULL it is that we are weaving our own Indra's Net…holding each other

and i think how daughter told me 2 days ago that there were FISH.  FISH in the canal down at the bottom of the Hill.  They thought there were no fish.  But suddenly there were minnows.  and when i talked to her yesterday,  she told me.  That when sitting silently when the Solar salesman was there,  sitting silently in a camping chair,  her eyes closed, (because she was exhausted and needing to sleep) (she works nights)   telling me that she heard MANY birds.  But they are not SEEN because they are UP in the canopy of Trees…  She had said before that she see s   few birds.  And she said there was a CROW.

so after all day,  of such Adriftness,  I thought…..Yes.  Live like a Crow.  How they ride the thermals.  How they recognize humanity,  INTENT.  How they recognize Intent,  yet Continue.  Learning.  Doing what is necessary,  but then maintaining Their Own.

i looked at this today.  I just like it.

 

 

and i forgot.  I need this here. 

Naomi Klein said….5 steps:

1.  Know what's coming
2.  get outside of your home and defy the bans
3.  know your history
4.  follow the $
5.  Advance a bold counter plan  

Crows would understand this.  perfectly.
